HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING: HoVal takes Patriot crown

As if there were ever any doubt, the Hopewell Valley wrestling team clinched the Colonial Valley Conference’s Patriot Division outright yesterday with a 61-9 over Hightstown.

Hopewell, which is now 13-1, wrapped it up in style when Dan Lee majored Nick Mitchell, 10-0, at 152 pounds. The Clark brothers, Owen at 132 and Dean at 138, continued to wrestle well as both recorded falls.

In other developments, West Windsor North won its first CVC match of the year by beating Hamilton, 45-36. Hamilton did, however, beat Ewing, which beat West Windsor North.

Nottingham won two out of three matches at a quad meet, topping Robbinsville, 33-24, and Haddon Heights, but falling to Cherry Hill West.
